We have a media that presents every politician as being as bad as the next. There is no distinguishing between one good idea or another; no explanation of why constitutional change should be uppermost in the minds of the people I represent.
We are so distracted and focused on what's next, we can fail to see what is actually in front of us.
A picador is the guy in a bullfight who helps make sure the matador doesn't get killed by distracting the bull. That's what TV writing is. You're just distracting the bull long enough to stick around for the next set of commercials.
I was much distressed by next door people who had twin babies and played the violin; but one of the twins died, and the other has eaten the fiddle, so all is peace.
The most distressing thing that can happen to a prophet is to be proved wrong. The next most distressing thing is to be proved right.

Doctors will have more lives to answer for in the next world than even we generals.
Next to doing the right thing, the most important thing is to let people know you are doing the right thing.
I need to have small morsels of sweets. If I have a day with the fam with a big family dinner, then I'll indulge... but then the next day or two I'll really be strict. I learned that from Dolly Parton, by the way!
Sometimes I wonder if men and women really suit each other. Perhaps they should live next door and just visit now and then.
It's very important to know the neighbor next door and the people down the street and the people in another race.
Families fighting childhood cancer should not have to worry about where they're going to get the next dose of the drug they need to save their child's life.

In a world where wealth is growing, you can get away with printing money. Doubling the debt over the next 20 years is not a problem.
